Senna-S

I would like to know the difference between Senna and Senna-S? I've been taking Senna for years but it now causes hard bm's. Even with Miralax or milk of mag. Is there something else to loosen the stool? My digestive system has become super slow too.

senna s seems to be like pericolce, it is stool softener and senna. ingrediats per tab
Calcium Sennoside In each Tablet - 8.6 mg , Docusate Sodium 50 mg
senna by itself it a stimulant laxative .
maybe you need to icrease your water intake? it is hot now

thisi didnt know

Casanthranol, which is contained in PeriColace®, is being removed from the market. Senokot S®, which contains 8.6mg senna and 50mg docusate has been selected as the substitute for PeriColace®.. An equivalent dose to 1 capsule of Peri Colace® would be 2 tablets of Senokot S®. Since there is not a Senokot S® liquid formulation, Senokot ® liquid 5mls (8.8mg senna) given with docusate 15ml (50mg doucsate) will be used as a subsitute for 15ml of PeriColace ® . Pharmacists have been approved to use these substitutions for all PeriColace® orders .

I use senn c plus, for almost 5 yrs now, plus Mirilax and lately been adding a CVS brand says compare to colace. Seems to be doing pretty good lately, Except for a explosion last friday night while in bed
